+
+.. _fdl-preamble:
+
+0. PREAMBLE
+===========
+
+The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
+written document “free” in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the
+effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying
+it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License
+preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their
+work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by
+others.
+
+This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works
+of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
+complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license
+designed for free software.
+
+We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
+software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program
+should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software
+does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be
+used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is
+published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for
+works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section1:
+
+1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
+================================
+
+
+.. _fdl-document:
+
+This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice
+placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the
+terms of this License. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual
+or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as
+“you”.
+
+
+.. _fdl-modified:
+
+A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the
+Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
+modifications and/or translated into another language.
+
+
+.. _fdl-secondary:
+
+A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
+the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` that deals exclusively with the
+relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the
+Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing
+that could fall directly within that overall subject. (For example, if
+the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section
+may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
+historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of
+legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
+regarding them.
+
+
+.. _fdl-invariant:
+
+The “Invariant Sections” are certain
+:ref:`Secondary Sections <fdl-secondary>` whose titles are designated,
+as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the
+:ref:`Document <fdl-document>` is released under this License.
+
+
+.. _fdl-cover-texts:
+
+The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as
+Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the
+:ref:`Document <fdl-document>` is released under this License.
+
+
+.. _fdl-transparent:
+
+A “Transparent” copy of the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` means a
+machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is
+available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited
+directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
+composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely
+available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text
+formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable
+for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent
+file format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
+subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
+not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.
+
+Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII
+without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML
+using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML
+designed for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF,
+proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word
+processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are
+not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some
+word processors for output purposes only.
+
+
+.. _fdl-title-page:
+
+The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus
+such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this
+License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which
+do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the
+most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning
+of the body of the text.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section2:
+
+2. VERBATIM COPYING
+===================
+
+You may copy and distribute the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` in any
+medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this
+License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this
+License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that
+you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may
+not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
+copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
+compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
+number of copies you must also follow the conditions in
+:ref:`section 3 <fdl-section3>`.
+
+You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
+you may publicly display copies.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section3:
+
+3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
+======================
+
+If you publish printed copies of the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>`
+numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires
+:ref:`Cover Texts <fdl-cover-texts>`, you must enclose the copies in
+covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts:
+Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back
+cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the
+publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title
+with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
+other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited
+to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the
+:ref:`Document <fdl-document>` and satisfy these conditions, can be
+treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
+
+If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
+pages.
+
+If you publish or distribute :ref:`Opaque <fdl-transparent>` copies of
+the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` numbering more than 100, you must
+either include a machine-readable :ref:`Transparent <fdl-transparent>`
+copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a
+publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
+Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
+general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
+charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
+option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
+distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
+Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
+until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
+copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
+the public.
+
+It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
+:ref:`Document <fdl-document>` well before redistributing any large
+number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
+version of the Document.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section4:
+
+4. MODIFICATIONS
+================
+
+You may copy and distribute a :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>`
+of the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` under the conditions of sections
+:ref:`2 <fdl-section2>` and :ref:`3 <fdl-section3>` above, provided
+that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
+the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing
+distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever
+possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the
+Modified Version:
+
+- **A.**
+ Use in the :ref:`Title Page <fdl-title-page>` (and on the covers,
+ if any) a title distinct from that of the
+ :ref:`Document <fdl-document>`, and from those of previous versions
+ (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of
+ the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if
+ the original publisher of that version gives permission.
+
+- **B.**
+ List on the :ref:`Title Page <fdl-title-page>`, as authors, one or
+ more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the
+ modifications in the :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>`,
+ together with at least five of the principal authors of the
+ :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` (all of its principal authors, if it
+ has less than five).
+
+- **C.**
+ State on the :ref:`Title Page <fdl-title-page>` the name of the
+ publisher of the :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>`, as the
+ publisher.
+
+- **D.**
+ Preserve all the copyright notices of the
+ :ref:`Document <fdl-document>`.
+
+- **E.**
+ Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent
+ to the other copyright notices.
+
+- **F.**
+ Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
+ giving the public permission to use the
+ :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>` under the terms of this
+ License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
+
+- **G.**
+ Preserve in that license notice the full lists of
+ :ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>` and required
+ :ref:`Cover Texts <fdl-cover-texts>` given in the
+ :ref:`Document's <fdl-document>` license notice.
+
+- **H.**
+ Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+
+- **I.**
+ Preserve the section entitled “History”, and its title, and add to it
+ an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher
+ of the :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>` as given on the
+ :ref:`Title Page <fdl-title-page>`. If there is no section entitled
+ “History” in the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>`, create one stating
+ the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on
+ its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as
+ stated in the previous sentence.
+
+- **J.**
+ Preserve the network location, if any, given in the
+ :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` for public access to a
+ :ref:`Transparent <fdl-transparent>` copy of the Document, and
+ likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous
+ versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History”
+ section. You may omit a network location for a work that was
+ published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the
+ original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
+
+- **K.**
+ In any section entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, preserve
+ the section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance
+ and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
+ dedications given therein.
+
+- **L.**
+ Preserve all the :ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>` of the
+ :ref:`Document <fdl-document>`, unaltered in their text and in
+ their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered
+ part of the section titles.
+
+- **M.**
+ Delete any section entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be
+ included in the :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>`.
+
+- **N.**
+ Do not retitle any existing section as “Endorsements” or to conflict
+ in title with any :ref:`Invariant Section <fdl-invariant>`.
+
+If the :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>` includes new
+front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as
+:ref:`Secondary Sections <fdl-secondary>` and contain no material
+copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
+of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list
+of :ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>` in the Modified Version's
+license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section
+titles.
+
+You may add a section entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains
+nothing but endorsements of your
+:ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>` by various parties--for
+example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by
+an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.
+
+You may add a passage of up to five words as a
+:ref:`Front-Cover Text <fdl-cover-texts>`, and a passage of up to 25
+words as a :ref:`Back-Cover Text <fdl-cover-texts>`, to the end of the
+list of :ref:`Cover Texts <fdl-cover-texts>` in the
+:ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>`. Only one passage of
+Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through
+arrangements made by) any one entity. If the
+:ref:`Document <fdl-document>` already includes a cover text for the
+same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same
+entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
+replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher
+that added the old one.
+
+The author(s) and publisher(s) of the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>`
+do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity
+for or to assert or imply endorsement of any
+:ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>`.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section5:
+
+5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+======================
+
+You may combine the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` with other
+documents released under this License, under the terms defined in
+:ref:`section 4 <fdl-section4>` above for modified versions, provided
+that you include in the combination all of the
+:ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>` of all of the original
+documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
+combined work in its license notice.
+
+The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
+multiple identical :ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>` may be
+replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections
+with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such
+section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of
+the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
+unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the
+list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
+
+In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled “History” in
+the various original documents, forming one section entitled “History”;
+likewise combine any sections entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any
+sections entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections entitled
+“Endorsements.”
+
+
+.. _fdl-section6:
+
+6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+===========================
+
+You may make a collection consisting of the
+:ref:`Document <fdl-document>` and other documents released under this
+License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the
+various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection,
+provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying
+of each of the documents in all other respects.
+
+You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
+it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
+License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
+other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section7:
+
+7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+=====================================
+
+A compilation of the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` or its derivatives
+with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a
+volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as
+a :ref:`Modified Version <fdl-modified>` of the Document, provided no
+compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation
+is called an “aggregate”, and this License does not apply to the other
+self-contained works thus compiled with the Document , on account of
+their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works
+of the Document. If the :ref:`Cover Text <fdl-cover-texts>`
+requirement of :ref:`section 3 <fdl-section3>` is applicable to these
+copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of
+the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers
+that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they
+must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section8:
+
+8. TRANSLATION
+==============
+
+Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute
+translations of the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` under the terms of
+:ref:`section 4 <fdl-section4>`. Replacing
+:ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>` with translations requires
+special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+translation of this License provided that you also include the original
+English version of this License. In case of a disagreement between the
+translation and the original English version of this License, the
+original English version will prevail.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section9:
+
+9. TERMINATION
+==============
+
+You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
+:ref:`Document <fdl-document>` except as expressly provided for under
+this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or
+distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your
+rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
+rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
+terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+
+.. _fdl-section10:
+
+10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
+====================================
+
+The `Free Software Foundation <http://www.gnu.org/fsf/fsf.html>`__
+may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License
+from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the
+present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
+concerns. See
+`http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/ <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft>`__.
+
+Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If
+the :ref:`Document <fdl-document>` specifies that a particular
+numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it,
+you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
+specified version or of any later version that has been published (not
+as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not
+specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version
+ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+
+.. _fdl-using:
+
+Addendum
+========
+
+To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
+the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
+notices just after the title page:
+
+ Copyright © YEAR YOUR NAME.
+
+ Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this
+ document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License,
+ Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software
+ Foundation; with the :ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>`
+ being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
+ :ref:`Front-Cover Texts <fdl-cover-texts>` being LIST, and with
+ the :ref:`Back-Cover Texts <fdl-cover-texts>` being LIST. A copy
+ of the license is included in the section entitled “GNU Free
+ Documentation License”.
+
+If you have no :ref:`Invariant Sections <fdl-invariant>`, write “with
+no Invariant Sections” instead of saying which ones are invariant. If
+you have no :ref:`Front-Cover Texts <fdl-cover-texts>`, write “no
+Front-Cover Texts” instead of “Front-Cover Texts being LIST”; likewise
+for :ref:`Back-Cover Texts <fdl-cover-texts>`.
+
+If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
+recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
+software license, such as the
+`GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>`__,
+to permit their use in free software.
